Description

This lecture covers the design and construction of embankment dams, focusing on the influence of geology, foundation conditions, and ancillary structures. It discusses the selection criteria for dam sites, the behavior of embankment dams after flooding, and the importance of detailed geotechnical studies. The presentation also addresses the different types of embankment dams, such as earth/rockfill dams and zoned earth dams, emphasizing the significance of core materials, sealing elements, and drainage systems. Additionally, it explores the impact of dam behavior on site choice, including settlement issues, water pressure effects, and long-term consolidation. The lecture concludes with a discussion on the construction phases, materials selection, and the ecological aspects of cemented material dams.
